There are various rear shocks and seats that will lower the seat height on the CT125 to make it even more approachable for you. Here's a whole kit: https://k-speed.com/en-us/collections/ct125-parts/products/k-speed-ct43
I have a 30" inseam and my CT125 replaced a dual-sport Cagiva Tamanaco with a seat height of 34" where I only got toes down on one side at a time. Whatever scoot you buy, get some crash protection to save some tears if you lose your footing and drop it. The good thing about the CT is it's a step-through. Unless you're on a steep hill and need to hold the rear brake with your foot, you can just move forward off the seat and be standing up flat on both feet holding the bike by the handlebars with front brake applied.
You're welcome! For what they are, the TW's are pretty tough to beat. I have just over 11K miles on mine (an '04). They haven't had any major mechanical updates since '01; just graphic changes from year-to-year.Thanks for giving me another option for bike #2, and i will have to check one out. Just waiting to pick up my trail
This. First two sentences. I agree completely. All anybody needs to know. Actually, I don't even know why I am leaving a comment about flatfooting a Grom vs leaning a Trail because it's 100% gotta be a spoof or conversation starter for forum traffic. If the OP is worried about the horribly dangerous possibility of having to lean a Honda Trail 125 to the side verses double flatfooting when offroad and upon stopping then I am going to recommend neither bike is appropriate. OP needs more time on the Hobbs meter in the Walmart parking lot before making this big of a jump. Peace, I'm out.ive been 1 footing bikes the past 30 years, 30" inseam. I get it, but when do you really need to put BOTH feet down? . My (ex) fathe rin law, joe, who used to flat track wayyy back, w a 26" inseam used to be almost uncatchable in the woods on his CRF150, man that guy can ride . (still does at 81 yrs old).
Enjoy the trail!
It's about comfort FOR ME. I'm getting older with health issues and I FEEL more comfortable with both feet on the ground when i stop. As stated before I have no desire to go fast off-road, just put around and explore new places and then get back on the road and go home. Some day you might understand.If the OP is worried about the horribly dangerous possibility of having to lean a Honda Trail 125 to the side verses double flatfooting when offroad and upon stopping then I am going to recommend neither bike is appropriate.
I agree with you; you need to do what makes sense for you and for the way you plan on using the bike. The most boring MC in the world is the one which has never been modded to match it's owners tastes/riding styles.It's about comfort FOR ME.
